“What the hell are we doing here?” Corey Barlog demands the release of a game about The Mandalorian

Creative director God of war Corey Barlog demands to release a game based on the series “Star Wars: The Mandalorian“(The mandalorian). His call he published on social media and can be redirected to the publisher EA, which owns the exclusive license to release games in the universe created by the director George Lucas.

“If no one is currently working on a great single player game in which you play as a mercenary who flies from one system to another to collect orders, upgrade your armor from beskar and get into a variety of adventures, then I don’t know what the hell we’re doing here.” , – wrote Barlog on Twitter.

As the developer admitted, he wants such a project to focus on the elaboration of the characters and the difficult moral choices that the player will have to face along the way. Barlog hopes his dream game is indeed in development.

To the creative director’s comment SIE Santa Monica Studio reacted psychologist and writer Cecilia Hodent, who had previously worked in LucasArts… She recalled the canceled game Star Wars 1313

“Man, this hurts,” she wrote bitterly.

Development of Star Wars 1313 was finally phased out after the company Disney bought the Lucasfilm studio and all of its subsidiary assets from George Lucas. Partially available developments were included in the project Ragtag from Visceral Games, however, he was not destined to see the light.

According to the original idea, the main character Star Wars 1313 had to speak Boba Fett (however, the developers hid it, throwing dust in the eyes of the fans), and the main location was the lower levels of Coruscant. The game has also been associated with the series Star Wars: Underworldwhich was also canceled. A concept was formed on its ruins, which eventually mutated into the series “The Mandalorian”.

The irony is that Corey Barlog also worked at Lucasfilm, where he was able to get acquainted with the rough sketches of Underworld. The developer was especially impressed by the idea of ​​putting Palpatine as a goodie who was perverted by a “woman gangster”.

The concept sunk into the head of Barlog, who decided to make Kratos in the restart of God of War, a softer and more humane hero than in previous games in the series.

Players can also check out the game Star Wars: Bounty Hunterreleased on PS2, PS3, PS4, and Nintendo GameCube. In it, the main character was a mercenary Django fettto whom Count Dooku instructed to eliminate his rebellious student. The assignment was also a test, for the passage of which the Mandalorian was made the prototype for the creation of an army of clones.
